This resolution conveys the sense of the House of Representatives that the United Nations should no longer classify China as a "Developing Nation." The resolution argues that China's current economic status, including its classification by the World Bank as an upper-middle-income economy , contradicts its developing nation designation. Supporting this view, the resolution highlights China's significant global economic influence, noting it was the largest goods exporter in 2022 and the third-largest purchaser of United States goods exports. Furthermore, China has made substantial international investments, including $679 billion in infrastructure projects across nearly 150 countries and financing 226 power plants globally between 2013 and 2022, solidifying its position as the world's second-largest economy.
